Default Side stripes, should I lose 'em?

I'm doing a bunch of stuff to my car this week and I'm starting to wonder if I should get rid of the side stripes. I got them on eBay when I first got the car. I'm lowering the car, getting black and yellow leather seats, black light bar, Borla exhaust, clear corner headlights, and a CDC shaker all within the next few weeks.

idk bout lose them all together, i'm not a big fan of sidestripes but i think if you can find a solid stripe like it is after the horses, i think that would look good on ur car...also if they've been on there for a while the paint might be a shade darker under the stickers.

I'm starting to think the ponys are a little cheesy for a Mustang. I thought it'd give a more aggressive look, but it seems a little silly if anything. I might get the solid stripe from mwspeedshop (http://mwspeedshop.com/doorstripes.htm)

I actually like them, and it would definitely look good with the black light bar, seats etc.

Keep them!

I think they look pretty good, but if your looking for a more aggressive look then I'd take them off and maybe find something else. Honestly, when I see the running pony's on side stripes it usually is a chick driving a v-6....nothing wrong with that, that's just what it reminds me of

I agreee, personal preference really. If you want a more aggressive look then I'd say lose them though. I'd keep it clean of any type of decals or graphics for the mean aggressive look.
